River Arts’ 1st annual Fine Crafts Exhibition opens tomorrow evening (Friday, May 6) at Gallery II in Damariscotta, Maine. The exhibition was juried by craft writer Carl Little, and he selected two of my subtle, tone-on-tone enameled portraits from my series, Decorum: The Devil Is In The Details. Read his juror’s statement and learn more about River Arts here. Please join us at the opening if you’re in the area!

If you missed SOFA NY this year, check out these photos from the COSTUME COSTUME PHOTOBOOTH at SIENNA GALLERY! The photobooth was a great success… a fun way for visitors to loosen up, try on jewelry and interact with it. A big thank you to Erin Gardner and The Opulent Project for organizing this and including my work. Lots of familiar faces got in on the action… check it out here!

COSTUME COSTUME is a collection of work made by emerging contemporary art jewelers. It’s an exploration of costume jewelry as subject; jewelry about jewelry. I am one of the 20 jewelers, along with fellow Ten Artists – Ten Objects – 2010 artists Kristi Sword and Melissa Tolar. Check it out!

last night was my last class of my first time teaching Jewelry + Metalsmithing… i had a great group of students, and i will miss them. in the card they gave me, one of them wrote, “the calluses and flesh wounds were totally worth it.” that might be the best compliment i’ve ever received!
